Roast Chicken and Barley Pilaf

This is an version of a recipe I found in the February 2008 Family Cirle. I adjusted the recipe a little.

Roast chicken

1 whole chicken1/4 teaspoon slatBlack pepper mixgarlic

Heat oven to 450 f.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, Place some garlic pieces on top. Place chicken in pan with 1 can chicken broth on bottom of pan. Roast for 50 to 60 minutes. You can tent with foil halfway through cooking. check the water level and add more as necessary.

Barley Pilaf:

I put 1 cup instant barley with 2 cups of chicken broth in a rice cooker. I added one diced carrot, salt, pepper and a 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.

Simmer to the amount of time on the package if done in a sauce pan. It will take about 10 minutes.
